Some lexicographers need to invent a new word to describe the DSA platform for America .
It is beyond bizarre.
How, given all the failed socialist and communist experiments littering miserable human history, can anyone in his right mind prescribe such soul-destroying precepts?
It's an affront to human dignity and reason.
Human behavior has often been examined through the prism of the "Nature versus Nurture" conundrum.
Even adopting elements of both is insufficient to explain the peculiar perversions of the DSA.
Nature doesn't provide comprehensive insights.
In fact, communism contradicts human nature, as empirically proven in all the failed communal experiments throughout history.
In short, it's unnatural to work hard for a better life if one is not commensurately rewarded.
Socialism-cum-communism is stultifying.
Focusing on nurture is also insufficient in comprehending the tenuous tenets of the DSA.
Although many impressionable minds have lazily succumbed to socialist indoctrination in post-modern education, many have not.
Something else is at play.
If the desperately despondent mindset of DSA advocates cannot solely be attributed to nature or nurture, how about "nuttyture"?
A silly, made-up word, perhaps, but that's what it comes down to: They are all nuts.
I don't need a shrink to confirm that, either.
(Shrinks are perhaps the nuttiest of all, and they won't even put TDS in the DSM.)
All the DSA proposals are nuts, but consider their demand for a 32-hour work week with no reduction in pay or benefits.
Upon a superficial glance, that sounds hotsy-totsy.
Indeed, with increased productivity courtesy of A.I., it may not be so far-fetched.
Here's the problem: The socialist want to tax the living daylights out of our tech companies, enervating them in the process.
Bernie (who doesn't "earn any") wants to essentially seize our A.I. companies .
That's not democratic socialism; that's coercive communism.
If you want less of something, tax it.
More tax and more government confiscation means less productivity; in turn, that means less likelihood of implementing a reduced work week while maintaining salary and benefits levels.
Yet, rather incongruously, the DSA's main web page is obnoxiously emblazoned with the phrase "Workers Deserve More" in giant font.
That's nutty: Their policies will ensure that workers get less.
Perhaps it betrays their true motivation - that is, a dictatorship over the workers.
DSA proponents have a decrepit nature and have succumbed to soul-crushing nurture.
Their infected brains are inflexible; they are resistant to neuroplasticity.
Instead, they are entrapped by socialist/communist orthodoxy, always insisting that "it will be different this time."
Isn't that the definition of nutty?
Do they even have free will, or are they the "walking dead," marching obediently behind the grim socialist reaper in the communist collective?
Bernie is a grim lookalike, don't you think?
Unless the laws of nature and nurture have changed, it actually won't be different this time, especially in the magnificent heartland of America.
As with so many of their ideological forebears, the DSA is also doomed to the scrap heap of history.
Nature's imperatives, including the inherent human quest for freedom, must be obeyed.
